AACD Continuum workshop, “Seamlessly Replacing a Missing Tooth in the Esthetic Zone”, will be held on Oct 24 - 25, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day at Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc., in Amherst, NY. Participants will earn 16 CE credits as they learn hands-on with AACD President and Accredited Fellow, Elizabeth Bakeman, DDS, FAACD.
Restorative dentists typically feel more comfortable with the prosthetic elements of tooth replacement but remain hesitant to manipulate the tissue elements. In order to achieve optimized results when replacing missing teeth with a fixed bridge or implant-supported crown, soft tissue alteration via surgery or scaffolding is often necessary. By learning to manage the periodontal/restorative interface, dentists and technicians can predictably move the dentistry they provide from acceptable to exceptional. This course will forever change the way participants approach replacing missing teeth, increase predictability, and lower stress.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the importance of properly evaluating and managing tissue architecture when replacing a missing tooth in the esthetic zone.
• Learn why achieving ideal results is closely dependent on case selection.
• Learn the pros and cons of tooth replacement with an implant versus a bridge.
• Understand when and how to manage symmetry with restorative enhancement.
Patients continue to place strong emphasis on esthetics when evaluating outcomes, even when faced with the challenging task of replacing a missing tooth in the esthetic zone. This course will help participants meet and exceed their patients’ demands for optimal results.
This course has a fee of $ $3,245 with early bird discounts available. Learn more at www.aacd.com/continuum#Bakeman.
Do more cosmetic cases with confidence in the AACD Continuum series. Participants learn from top Academy educators on topics that have a direct influence on enhancing their clinical performance so that they can offer their patients better and more predictable results or get support in reaching their AACD Accreditation goal. In partnership with some of the industry’s leading manufacturers, the AACD Con•tin•u•um will give attendees a chance to explore new materials and methodologies.
Con•tin•u•um sessions will reward attendees with new skills, techniques, and confidence they can take to the bank. Because of the intensive hands-on workshop environment and the low student:instructor ratio, space at each AACD Con•tin•u•um session is extremely limited.
